Warm…for Sweden

This photo was taken in beautiful Småland, a region of southern Sweden, known for reaching warm temperatures compared to neighboring provinces (it holds the record temp for all of Scandinavia). That said, southern Sweden is still relatively far north by global standards—with Småland situated around the same latitude as Inverness in Scotland or Alaska’s Kodiak Island. And, as you can clearly see from this photo, ‘warm’ is always a relative term.
